Did you know that you can adjust that regulator? Go up inside that
vacuum fitting with the right sized allen wrench, and there is an
adjustment. It will be tight to turn the first time, because the factory
locked it down after it was adjusted.
And, if you connect the right vacuum source to that fitting, you can ge
the pressure to change with the engine load. That is the second
generation of fuel pressure regulators from Bosch.
